Craftsman 15-inch Push Mower, $209 (was $299)
Why do we like this deal?
The big lawn mower players used to be John Deere and Briggs & Stratton. Today, we see more EGO, Greenworks and Troy-Bilt among others. However, with the increasing popularity of electric mowers, don’t be surprised if tomorrow’s popular mowers are made by the likes of Ryobi or even DeWalt. Reason why? A popular power tool company has a lawn mower that costs just $209 on Amazon, and users can’t get enough of it.
The Craftsman 15-inch Push Mower, which comes with all the batteries needed to run it, is now up to 30% off at Amazon. This is a brand-new mower, and it’s the lowest price it’s ever been on a discount site. This is a nice mower to get even if you’re not already involved in the Craftsman V20 ecosystem, but once Craftsman fans get wind of this deal (it just came out a day or two ago), it’s going to sell out fast.

What shoppers need to know
- cutting width: 15 inches
- Powered by: 2 x Craftsman V20 Battery (Included)
- Cutting Time: up to 45 minutes
- Accessories included: Attachable Bag, 2 x Craftsman V20 4.0 Ah Battery, 2 x Battery Charger
- model number: CMCMWP120M2
It’s a lightweight mower (I’ve seen people carry it with one hand) that cuts for up to 45 minutes with the supplied battery and, once complete, folds into a compact space, allowing for easy storage in your garage.
And although the mower is great, the real value, what puts it above other lawn mower deals I’ve seen this season, is the battery system. It’s always a big deal among buyers when the Ego Power+ 56V battery goes on sale, but it’s still going to cost more than $150. If you use Craftsman Tools, you probably already have a V20 battery, and life will be good with this mower.

Next, everything about the battery system is convenient. When typical mowers say you can get “up to 45 minutes” of life from the supplied batteries, this is an extremely optimistic figure. But men’s journalExperience with the Craftsman V20 mowers shows that the company delivers numbers that reflect realistic user experiences.
Lastly, this set provides two battery chargers. who does that? No one does this. In my many years of covering power tools, power tool sets, and battery-powered lawn equipment, I have never seen one offered like this.
what shoppers are saying
One shopper said, “It not only works as expected, but it works better than expected. It’s light and easy to use, really quiet, cuts tall grass, and the battery lasts a long time.”
Another shopkeeper said that “the only problem is that the power went out after an hour.” However, I’m not really sure what they were expecting, as it’s quite a long time!
The Craftsman 15-inch Push Mower is available right now at Amazon for just $209.
